Answer the question, vote, discuss...

lol...no team really has any chance, I guess I'll take the Wizards.

I don't think any will either, but Houston has the best chance - 2 of the 3 games left are at home and they have their PG back after he missed the first two games.

only toronto or washington i think. the other teams that are ahead are too disciplined to let a 3 game comeback happen

Washington, mostly be default I guess. I don't think any of them are lasting past game 6

Wizards. Soulja boy.

Maybe the Rockets because of the homecourt advantage...

Neither will happen.

Wizards

I think Toronto.

They almost won both games in Orlando, and you never know what will happen with Jameer's back.

even though they're the only one that was down 3-0 and facing the defending champs without homecourt advantage, i still gotta go with the suns.

@ people who voted against Spurs

I can't believe people still don't get it. We pwn the Suns. It has been like that since our second title in '03. You guys are hating on the Spurs and blindly blowing the Suns. They are exiting in 5. Book it. In addition, this was the only series in which the loser was staring down a 0-3 hole so don't give me this **** that they are on the same page as everyone else.

Houston

I don't think its a knock on SAS so much as its the Suns are better than any of the other teams in the same position

The Rockets probably have the best chance since we have 2 more home games but I doubt it.

Anyone want to trade us T-Mac for a ham sandwich? with cheese?

Well when you look past the fact that we have a long playoff history with the Suns that resulted in many wins for us...

You could've selected Houston. You could've selected Washington. Anything but Phoenix. It is a slap to the face of the Spurs and their fans. Do you really think that Phoenix can dig out of their 0-3 hole and win 4 straight games against the San Antonio Spurs when they have only won 5 games against us in the playoffs in the past 5 years? Get real.

The Cavs have a history of beating the Wizards, and they're #1 in the voting.

I said when they were down 2-0 and I'll stick with it. Toronto still has the best shot to come back.

I think Dallas should have the best chance to coming back.

Houston coming back against Utah
Utah is 3-1 up, but this series has been closely contested and even 3-1 in Houston's favor could've easily been the result. Houston will have lift for Game 5 and win that. That's of course the first goal. They have to prolong the series. Utah winning in 5 seems like a easy win, but it hasn't been. We've proven that we can compete in Utah and surely we wouldn't lose another Game 7. That said, our squad is depleted and tired.

Washington coming back against Cleveland
DeShawn could've kept his mouth shut until afte the Cavs won. Looks like another victory for the Cavs to be honest. Wiz are like Houston, they need a fairly healthy season for momentum. They can't suddenly pick it up in the playoffs.

Phoenix coming back against San Antonio
I must say it wouldn't totally surprise me to see this happening - come to think of it, Phoenix should be at least 2-2 with the Spurs. That said, try beating SA at home twice in a row, and Game 7 too. Only Dallas (06) have done it in recent times, yet choked later.

Toronto coming back against Orlando
I haven't followed this series too closely, but it just looks like momentum is with Orlando at the moment. I'd love to see them finish it off for a long overdue playoff win. They have been a blueprint for a team like Houston - a playoff taste and perhaps a playoff win.

Dallas coming back against New Orleans
New Orleans got over the hump and won in Dallas. Pretty big achievement. I don't see New Orleans losing this series from here. They've got so much to offer, Spurs/Hornets in the second round promises to be an exciting match-up between (relatively) young and (relatively) old. I just don't think the Mavs have it in them.

i dont think any of these teams comes back from a 3-1 deficit.

First of all, way to come off like a condescending prick. Congratulations.
Furthermore, were the Suns not up huge in both games in SA only to have D'Antoni not know how to close games out and make his normal, horrible coaching decisions? Were the Suns not in a great position to knock the Spurs off last year before Blowjob Bob took out Nash for no reason, and Stern enforced some ticky-tack rule that should have never come into play and suspended Amare? Personally I think it would be hilarious (and karmatic justice) to see the Spurs choke on a D and lose 4 in a row. It would be like my beloved Sox finally getting over the hump against the Yanks.

I know it's unlikely, since the combination of the Suns pitiful defense and D'antoni not knowing how to coach can easily squander huge leads in games, but I still think the Suns have the best shot. I'm sorry you disagree Mr. #1 Spurs fan, but there are people who hold a dissenting opinion on the matter (and/or aren't drinking the Spurs koolaid).
